You have a wonderful list. I’ll pass them all long to Miss Maggie. Thanks for stopping in.

Thanks for the great suggestions. And the shout out for Hot-Shot Doc. I’ll slip one on the shelf.

I could go on and on, but there’s not enough space.

When I read now for pleasure (which I very rarely have time to do), I love Terry Kay, James Patterson and all his “co”writers, Michael Crighton, Mary Kay Andrews, Dottie Frank, or whatever catches my eye or my interest.

The only things I do not read are post-apocalyptic, “ordeal” books, vampires, urban fantasy, etc. My life has given me plenty of grief for free; I don’t need it in a book. Smile

I love Haywood’s books. (Maybe it’s because I can relate since I’m in the “more mature” stage of my life)

I recently read Harbinger of Healing by Connie Stevens and enjoyed it. Oh, and Hot Shot Doc Comes To Town was a great read. Smile

Outlander is the growing vote. I’m going to read it right away.

More good choices. I’ve read Debbi but not Emilee. So I will have to get hers and Miss Maggie and I can have a little talk over tea about the book.

I think Miss Maggie would love Haywood’s books. Her stuff is wonderful. Thanks for the advice.

I’ll let her know. I agree both authors are great.
